Re: WHAT IS THE BEST OUTBOARD ENGINE TO BUY??
They are horribly ineffecient how so? they are much cheaper to buy.parts are much much cheaper and they last a lifetime.I can get a 1955 evinrude for 40 bucks and fully rebuild it for about 250. much much cheaper then a new motor.and you know what that 1955 evinrude will outlive any 2008.
NO ONE WILL EVER STOP ME FROM USING MY OLD MOTORS NOOOOOO ONE YOU HERE ME NO ONE.THEY WOULD HAVE TO PRY THEM FROM MY DEAD COLD HANDS.I WILL RUN CARBED 2 STROKES TO THE DAY I DIE.I WILL NEVER RETIRE MY OLDIE'S NEVER!!!!.I DO NOT USE THEM EVERYDAY BECAUSE MOST ALREADY HAVE MORE HOURS ON THEM THEN ANY 4 STROKE WILL EVER HAVE.DONT WORRY THO THEY WILL STAY RUNNING BECAUSE I RUN EXTRA OIL IN THEM
ARE YOU A NEW OUTBOARD DEALER?
So trying to reduce the amount of rubbish pumped into your environment is a bad thing?
The other manufacturers managed to comply with EPA and didn't die. As someone else said, produce a bad outboard and the public will kill it. That's what happened here. Manufacturers get years of notice about the changes coming and it's up to them to make products that comply, not complain when their produces are rubbish...
And since so many posters have made reference to 'older' engines, I'd like to add to that particular debate. Someone needs to draw a line in the sand and say that anything built before 19xx is no longer acceptable for use. These old engine may well be reliable, but they are outdated and they wouldn't even get on the dial of the pollution meters. They are horribly ineffecient and are adding heavily to our already overburdened environment. Time to retire these oldies, no matter how good you think they are, and get something more in line with looking after the future, not the past.
